Answer by mzmogul
The FACT Act entitles you to a free credit report from each of the major bureaus once a year. The website is http://www.annualcreditreport.com . This site is free and will not request a credit/debit card unless you want your credit scores also. Credit scores are not free. To access it instantly online you will need to be able to answer at least three questions based on info in the report to verify your identity. They are multiple choice questions usually related to previous addresses, companies you’ve done business with, former employers etc. Each bureau will ask these questions because the info in each report may vary. If you can’t verify identity, you will have to provide ID then wait for reports to be mailed. This credit pull is also a soft hit that will not adversely affect your scores.

Wool Insulation and Natural Insulation Company Continues to Gain National Media Coverage Through Online Websites and Bloggers

Rainier, OR (PRWEB) May 21, 2011

Oregon Shepherd, a leading sheep wool insulation producer continues to buck the trend in the down housing market by consistently finding alternative ways to communicate with its core target market – environmentally conscious consumers.

“Wool insulation for attics, ceilings, walls and floors is gaining wider acceptance among the general public,” says Bob Workman, general manager at Oregon Shepherd. “Our target market used to be only consumers who considered themselves environmentally conscious,” continued Workman. “But these days, more and more people are seeing the value in using sheep wool insulation as a way to save time and money preferring this alternative insulation material. Our niche is still smaller than traditional cellulose or fiberglass insulation, but it is growing.”

“Builders, insulation installers and homeowners are always looking for new and innovative ways to protect their homes, and natural insulation seems to appeal to them all,” said Kelly Donnelly, marketing manager. Because of this trend, we’ve had the opportunity to speak with many online experts, bloggers and website owners that believe in what we do and are eager to spread the word about our products.”

One such website is http://www.green-talk.com. According to Anna Hackman, editor, Green Talk is all about the conversation on how to live a greener lifestyle and green your business. Anna recently interviewed Bob and Kelly about their natural wool insulation. The taped video interview can be seen here: http://budurl.com/WoolInsulation

“With new housing starts down nationwide, people are updating and upgrading their current homes rather than buying new. This presents us with a great opportunity to attract customers who want to use renewable resources like sheep wool to insulate their homes and websites like Green Talk provide us the vehicle do so,” said Workman.

About Oregon Shepherd, LLC

Oregon Shepherd, LLC was formed in 2003 by Joel Pynch and Margaret Magruder with the specific goal of expanding traditional markets for natural wool products. Workman was engaged in 2009 as a management consultant to develop the process, patents, and machinery to manufacture wool insulation for the US market.

Mortgages Online – Study Shows Banks Letting Business Slip Away

Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) June 25, 2004

77% of the 494 Web Mystery Shoppers® participating in a recent study said that they expect to use the Internet to help them decide where to get their next mortgage, and 50% have already researched mortgages online. But after having visited a bank’s web site looking for mortgage information, they rated the likelihood of returning to that site as only 2.95 on a 5-point scale, where 5 meant “almost certain” to return.

There is a lot of variation in the results, but even top-scoring Bank of America only rated 3.67 out of 5 on the likelihood of returning. Lowest-ranked on that criterion was BB&T (2.06 out of 5).

One of the top frustrations was banks either not including current interest rate information, or hiding it until after the customer is well into the application process.

“Some banks still don’t seem to realize that they can save themselves time and money by letting people do what they want to do: educate themselves and get rate information before contacting the bank,” said Tema Frank, president of Web Mystery Shoppers International Inc. (http://www.webmysteryshoppers.com) “If the customer is rate-sensitive, and your rates aren’t the best, you are far better off to have them discover that themselves than to make them call a branch! Why waste your staff’s time with people who won’t want to do business with you anyway?”

The 25 banks studied are doing a good job of overcoming consumer privacy concerns, with an industry average score of nearly 4 out of 5 on confidence that the bank will respect the shopper’s privacy. Even the lowest ranked bank on this criterion scored neutral, not negative.

The following companies” web sites were studied between May 28 and June 20, 2004: 1st Mariner Bank, Associated Bank, Bank of America, Bank One, BB&T, Chase, Citibank, Compass Bank, EFFCU, Fifth Third Bank, First Tennessee, Green Point, HSBC, ING, National City, Net Bank, Southtrust, Sovereign Bank, Suntrust Bank, US Bank, Wachovia, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo, World Savings, and Zions Bank. They consisted of the largest US banks, and a selection of smaller, regional banks. There was no consistent correlation between the size of the bank and consumer satisfaction.
